By "wrinkle" I hope he means we can put together long, clock-eating, drives that end in TDs. Because I have yet to see that this season.

While I don't think we've suddenly become a great team and turned the corner...I do think we'll win this game, particularly if we can get the elements to play a factor. Our special teams might be the best in the league (damn, when's the last time you could say that, probably when Bruce Dehaven was here) and our D is one of the better units (if only we could cause some damn turnovers)...as long as our O doesn't hand them the ball we can, and should, win this game.

Sue, maybe people are being jerks to you in how they respond...but they do have a point. A simple Google search of "currency exchange", which took all of 5 seconds, brought up a number of sites that can do the job. So the question is, why do you post these types of questions when it's easy to do the job yourself and find the answers? I'm not going to lecture you, but I will say this, that education you're getting will be useless unless you also have problem solving skills to go along with it...and problem solving doesn't mean asking others for help the moment you don't know how to do something.

It would be interesting if the machines on which these errors took place were Diebold machines...considering the comments that their chief executive made about, "helping Ohio deliver its electoral votes to the president next year." What a fiasco that would be.

I'm guessing that most on this board (and in America) would be very surprised if they ever picked up a copy of Thomas Jefferson's "Notes on the State of Virginia". Somehow I'm guessing that most probably have no clue what he believed. But don't try to educate people on the history of this county, they don't want to hear it. They simply want to believe that their core beliefs were the same as the "forefathers"...as if the founders this country all agreed with one another on the proper way to do things... I mean, just look above, someone trying to say the "forefathers" wrote the pledge? What a disgrace. Next thing I'm going to hear is that George Washington was elected democratically by the people...

I swear half of your 10k posts simply say, "pick up a history book". Any one in particular? Or are they all in agreement on the "facts"? Hell, you act like our understanding of the entire history of the human race is set in stone. This couldn’t be further from the truth as our knowledge of the past is ever changing as a constant battle is being waged about the “facts” and the meaning of those “facts” by historians the world over. But I guess you’ve chosen your particular history to believe in and anybody that doesn’t see it the way you do should “pick up a history book.” So again I ask, which all-encompassing history book has it right? I took enough history in college to come just shy of a double major (though I did minor in it) and I never found just two history books that agreed on everything, much less any type of consensus from historians about the past. This response has nothing to do with the Bush/Hitler thing btw, it’s just a general observation of your responses to anything you don’t agree with. Then again, I'm sure you'll just call me some name and attach "liberal" to the back end of it in an attempt to discredit anything I've said...

No Butters?!?! Bah!

We've lost 5 games in conference already. There is no chance of winning a tiebreaker for the WC with 7 losses when 5 of 'em are in the AFC (assuming don't lose anymore in conference games). If this team has any shot at the playoffs they can only lose 1 more game this year. So, no, we have no chance at the playoffs unless we suddenly turn into a powerhouse team like the Pats or Eagles.

I Guess I'm the only one who doesn't love this move. Vincent is an excellent CB...maybe he'll be an excellent S, I don't know. Even if he is I prefer to have my excellence at the CB position. McGee is an average CB right now. He gets beat more than anybody in the secondary. Is he better at CB than Reese is at S...perhaps, but again, if I have 3/4 of a strong secondary, I prefer my weakness at S, not at CB. This doesn't even take into consideration if Vincent will be able to pull this off midseason without some growing pains. I hope I'm wrong and this works out, but I'm of the opinion that the D is fine and any tinkering with it will only cause problems.

This is the route I went. I just bought myself an authentic Moulds jersey on Ebay for 46 bucks...55 including shipping. And yes, it had tags and I've compared it to an authentic jersey a friend of mine bought from NFL.com and it's the exact same.

This is exactly what is wrong with this country right now. "Our way" vs. "their way"...how about doing something good for the country instead of these petty politicians and their corporate masters looking out only for themselves? I hope whoever is elected president works with congress in an attempt to do something worthwhile instead of just stonewalling the opposition.

It’s unfortunate that either of them will win. But from the looks of it, it looks like it’ll be Kerry.

Classic internet defense move. Nicely played. Take it off topic because you have no answer. Yeah, he doesn't have a Jr. at the end of his name, which makes a difference in this discussion how?

"Don't let the smoking gun be a mushroom cloud." - Pres. George Bush Jr. Yeah, that doesn't sound like a scare tactic to me!

Exactly. Think of them as you vote for anybody but Bush. After all, he’s the guy that lied and used scare tactics in order to get approval to send them over there.

If people were fair weather fans and bandwagon jumpers they wouldn't be on this board passionately talking about their team. Everyone here is supporting their team, everyone just chooses different ways of doing it. I'm not telling the super-positive people to think my way, I'd appreciate it if those people would stop telling me to be positive. Anyway, I am positive...positive this team is one of the worst in the league and positive that I'm not going to sit here and tell them "nice effort" when their play is pathetic. They deserve to be ripped into, they deserve to have the fans on their backs pressuring them to get better. They're big boys, they can take it.

I thought you were going to say, "...America loses". Though I suppose I'd agree with your statement too.

Pat...he produces and plays, Jennings does neither. Jennings reminds me of that joke from Annie Hall, two old women are talking, one says, "the food at this restaurant is terrible!", the other replies, "yeah, and the portions are so small!"

I liked the use of Adams at the goal line...the more beef you can get down there on the goal line the better. I was also impressed on WM’s second TD when Adams not only blocked the DL in front of him, but moved to the second level and put a hit on the LB as well. Nicely done. As for Bannon, he seemed to pull pretty well, but I don't think there are any long term permanent plans to use him on the Oline...but I guess we'll see. I do like the fact that MM and the staff aren’t afraid to try some different players elsewhere to see if they can improve the team. As for putting the "best" players on the field in the secondary, I agree...but at the positions they are the best at. I don't think that McGee is a better CB right now than Reese is at S....but I know that Vincent is a better CB right now than he would be at S. Maybe with a training camp under his belt that would change, but asking Vincent move from CB to S midseason is just asking for game changing mistakes to be made while he learns a new position. Not to mention, I think people are way overrating McGee as a CB right now. He does seem to have a nose for the ball and my be our biggest ball hawk in the secondary, but that being said, he also gets beat more than anybody else in the secondary. My basic philosophy on the D is why mess with it? Once Vincent gets back (and assuming we don’t lose anybody else to injury…) our D should be dominant.

He wasn't caught from behind because he is too slow...he was caught from behind because he was attempting to cut it inside because a WR missed a block and he wasn't going to be able to get the first down by running to the sideline.

I also noticed WM ripping into a linemen on a carry in which he lost a few yards because he got swarmed in the backfield as if nobody was blocking for him. It was nice to see somebody with some passion out there for a change.

1. This type of move should be made in the off-season, not in the middle of the season. You don't just shift the line around and hope for the best...it takes some time...and believe it or not the line is actually making positive strides. Make some moves like this and its back to the drawing board. If Mike is moved (which isn't a bad idea in and of itself) it should be done next training camp. 2. Again, this is a move that shouldn't be attempted in midseason. Not only that, but it's a bad idea right now. We're much thinner at CB than we are at S. If Vincent is moved to S then we have McGee starting opposite Clements...and McGee isn't a viable option right now as a starter. Not only that, we have Thomas as our Nickle...in a 3WR set the idea of having McGee and Thomas on the field covering a team's 2nd and 3rd best WR scares the hell out of me. Don't move Vincent to S until we have somebody who can be put at CB that is more than a stop-gap. 3. Edwards is playing very well, but the guy doesn't deserve to start over Pat or Sam...who both are playing very well as of late. Not to mention that Edwards pass rush is his forte right now and he gets in there on obvious passing situations as it is. I feel much more comfortable with Pat and Same clogging the middle on first and second down than I would with Edwards in there. 4. I'm all for starting JP once his leg is ready...in-so-long as Bledsoe is still playing like complete crap when that time comes. If Bledsoe (by some miracle) manages to turn it around before JP's leg is ready, then he shouldn't be pulled. Otherwise, give him the ol' heave ho and lets see what the youngers got. Most of your ideas seem to be change-for-change-sake ideas. The D should be left alone, period. It's doing its job for the most part and once Vincent is healthy our secondary is no longer a weakness. The O-line and QB are the major problems with this team right now, but you really can't start moving people around mid-season on the line without having negative consequences...and yes, even worse than what we've seen thus far.

The best and only reason you need to vote is that you have no right to B word if you don't vote! And we all know how much fun complaining can be.

Duh, yeah it was Brown last year...messed up my last name colors in a bad flashback to 2000-2001
